Ecological guesthouse in Provence

Rental description

Anne and Olivier warmly welcome you to one of their 3 charming B&B rooms in their ecological house in a little village of the Provence hills north of the Riviera. Each room has a terrace directly overlooking the Mediterranean garden, which is equipped with a swimming pool and an open air summer kitchen.

The owners live ecologically on a daily basis, and will share the experience of the local life with you. Their guest rooms comply with the high standards of the “Clef Verte” certification.

Sustainability criteria

During renovations, they chose perforated bricks, known for their strong insulating properties. Lime coating keeps the walls healthy and ventilated. The roof is covered in solar panels to provide hot water and heat the naturally treated swimming pool. The solar panels also produce enough green power for local redistribution.

The owners have implemented a rainwater collection system to irrigate their beautiful organic garden. They also practice selective waste sorting and composting. Leftovers are fed to their hens, who, in turn, provide daily organic eggs.

They support local food suppliers: fresh foods from the immediate countryside and organic products are used in their kitchen. For instance, the homemade jams are made with organic sugar, figs and cherries from the garden and apricots are supplied from the organic farm. Of course, the owners are members of an AMAP food cooperative which supplies them with part of their vegetables, but also their cheeses, flour, cereal, and meat.
